ChoroChoro, also called chorinho, is a Brazilian popular music style. Its origins are in 19th century Rio de Janeiro. Originally the choro was played by a trio of flute, guitar and cavaco (a kind of small guitar with four strings). Other instruments commonly played in choro are the mandolin, clarinet, and saxophone. Structurally, a choro composition usually starts in a minor key, followed by a major key bridge, and a minor key finish (similar to a tango). The name is believed to come from chorar, which means "to cry" in Portuguese. Notable choro compositions
